Ruffwear Powder Hound

I laughed when I read this trending headline: “Groundhog predicts an early spring. Don’t get too excited, he’s usually wrong” early in the month of February. Here we are approaching March, and I can’t help but think winter has decided to fully mock the groundhog. Let’s be in on the joke with this moody winter […]

Hurtta Downpour Suit

Fall is quickly approaching and with it, rainy season! Personally, I love the foggy mornings, the colorful leaves, and the empty trails but I dread the exponential increase in dog bathes.
